In the Growing
Warmth
given by Sylvia Sims
February 2 is
known by many names: Brigid’s Day, for the Celtic Goddess of fire and
inspiration, and Oimelc or Imbolc (which means “new lambs”). When Christianity came, it was renamed
Candlemas, and, of course, we also know it as Groundhog Day. By whichever name
and whatever ceremony it is celebrated, the day marks the knowledge that,
in the deepest cold of winter, the spring is coming to birth in the growing
warmth of the sun, and we will rejoice!
